The World Trade Organisation (WTO) has come under renewed criticism for failing poor and developing countries with talks on agricultural trade unable to yield a breakthrough in more than 14 years.
Nations including Kenya, India and Pakistan have been calling on the WTO to force developed countries to phase out subsidies paid to farmers whose overproduction is threatening the livelihoods of farmers in the developing world.
Many analysts have argued that negotiations at the WTO have remained largely dominated by traditional economic powers such as the US and EU with discussions failing to deliver promised change.
Some point to the failure of western governments to conclude what's known as the 'Doha Development Agenda' which has kept agricultural economies in Africa trapped in poverty.
The Doha Development Agenda, which began in Qatar in 2001, is a series of trade negotiations with the broad aim of reforming the international trading system through the introduction of lower trade barriers and revised trade rules.
But 14 years on, some of the biggest of those issues - agriculture tariffs and farming subsidies - remain unresolved.
Ricardo Melendez-Ortiz, the CEO of the International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development joins Counting the Cost to discuss whether the Doha Round should be scrapped.
Global arms industry continues to boom
The international arms trade is continuing to boom, with trade at its highest level since the end of the Cold War.
Worth more than $400 billion a year, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), around 100 companies control the trade with 64 of them based in either the US and Western Europe.
While the US is the world's biggest exporter with 54.4 percent of the market, German and Swiss sales have grown to 9.4 percent and 11.2 percent respectively.
Increasing instability in the Middle East and Asia has prompted an arms race between Iran and the Gulf States, while a similar situation between Pakistan and India has prompted both countries to stock up on huge amounts of weapons.
Pieter Wezeman, a senior researcher with the SIPRI's arms and military expenditure programme joins the show to discuss who's buying what weapons.

Why is it crucial to measure trade flows in value-added terms in the 21st century?
Today, companies divide their operations across the world, from the design of the product and manufacturing of components to assembly and marketing, creating international production chains. More and more products are "Made in the World" rather than "Made in the UK" or "Made in France". The statistical bias created by attributing the full commercial value to the last country of origin can pervert the political debate on the origin of the imbalances and lead to misguided, and hence counter-productive, decisions. The challenge is to find the right statistical bridges between the different statistical frameworks and national accounting systems to ensure that international interactions resulting from globalization are properly reflected and to facilitate cross border dialogue between national decision makers.

Trade association

A trade association, also known as an industry trade group, business association or sector association, is an organization founded and funded by businesses that operate in a specific industry. An industry trade association participates in public relations activities such as advertising, education, political donations, lobbying and publishing, but its focus is collaboration between companies. Associations may offer other services, such as producing conferences, networking or charitable events or offering classes or educational materials. Many associations are non-profit organizations governed by bylaws and directed by officers who are also members.

Political influence

One of the primary purposes of trade groups, particularly in the United States and to a similar but lesser extent elsewhere, is to attempt to influence public policy in a direction favorable to the group's members. This can take the form of contributions to the campaigns of political candidates and parties through Political Action Committees (PACs); contributions to "issue" campaigns not tied to a candidate or party; and lobbyinglegislators to support or oppose particular legislation. In addition, trade groups attempt to influence the activities of regulatory bodies.

World Trade Organization

The World Trade Organization (WTO) is an intergovernmental organization which regulates international trade. The WTO officially commenced on 1 January 1995 under the Marrakesh Agreement, signed by 123 nations on 15 April 1994, replacing the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), which commenced in 1948. The WTO deals with regulation of trade between participating countries by providing a framework for negotiating trade agreements and a dispute resolution process aimed at enforcing participants' adherence to WTO agreements, which are signed by representatives of member governments and ratified by their parliaments. Most of the issues that the WTO focuses on derive from previous trade negotiations, especially from the Uruguay Round (1986–1994).

The WTO is attempting to complete negotiations on the Doha Development Round, which was launched in 2001 with an explicit focus on developing countries. As of June 2012, the future of the Doha Round remained uncertain: the work programme lists 21 subjects in which the original deadline of 1 January 2005 was missed, and the round is still incomplete. The conflict between free trade on industrial goods and services but retention of protectionism on farm subsidies to domestic agricultural sector (requested by developed countries) and the substantiation of fair trade on agricultural products (requested by developing countries) remain the major obstacles. This impasse has made it impossible to launch new WTO negotiations beyond the Doha Development Round. As a result, there have been an increasing number of bilateral free trade agreements between governments. As of July 2012, there were various negotiation groups in the WTO system for the current agricultural trade negotiation which is in the condition of stalemate.

The original form of trade, barter, saw the direct exchange of goods and services for other goods and services. Barter is trading things without the use of money. Later one side of the barter started to involve precious metals, which gained symbolic as well as practical importance. Modern traders generally negotiate through a medium of exchange, such as money. As a result, buying can be separated from selling, or earning. The invention of money (and later credit, paper money and non-physical money) greatly simplified and promoted trade. Trade between two traders is called bilateral trade, while trade between more than two traders is called multilateral trade.

Trade exists due to the specialization and division of labor, in which most people concentrate on a small aspect of production, trading for other products. Trade exists between regions because different regions may have a comparative advantage (perceived or real) in the production of some trade-able commodity, or because different regions' size may encourage mass production. As such, trade at market prices between locations can benefit both locations.

In a theological context, world usually refers to the material or the profane sphere, as opposed to the celestial, spiritual, transcendent or sacred. The "end of the world" refers to scenarios of the final end of human history, often in religious contexts.

This video lays out some of the widely discussed strengths and weaknesses the WTO. For instance, a strength may be that the WTO gives developing nations an incentive to move toward freer trade policies. But, the WTO is often criticized for not doing more to tackle agricultural subsidies and tariffs which serve as major barriers to trade for developing nations. This video also takes a look at whether the WTO actually increases trade, or whether countries are naturally moving toward free trade, as we've seen by the increase in bilateral trade agreements.

What is The World Trade Organization?

Welcome to the Investors Trading Academy talking glossary of financial terms and events.
Our word of the day is “World Trade Organization”
The World Trade Organization (WTO) is the only global international organization dealing with the rules of trade between nations. At its heart are the WTO agreements, negotiated and signed by the bulk of the world’s trading nations and ratified in their parliaments. The goal is to help producers of goods and services, exporters, and importers conduct their business.
The WTO was formed in 1995 to enforce the regulations established by the GeneralAgreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and several other international trade agreements. Composed of representatives from 150 nations and observers from additional nations, it regulates international trade with the goal of helping it to flow as smoothly and freely as possible.
Advocates praise the WTO for helping to create an increasingly global economy and bringing prosperity to developing nations through increased trade. Critics, however, assert that industrialized nations such the US, Canada, and the countries of the European Union have used the WTO to open trade with developing nations while disregarding these nations’ environmental and labor-related practices.

Script transcript below:
A subsidy is basically a sum of money that the state gives to people from a certain industry to keep the price of the product or service they're selling lower than it would have normally been.Let's assume it costs Bill $10 to produce a hat, whereas someone from China can do it for just $5. In this case, a $6 per hat subsidy from Uncle Sam can help Bill all of a sudden produce hats cheaper than the Chinese.In some cases, subsidies benefit society as a whole. For example, by encouraging people to develop new technologies such as solar or wind energy. Or by encouraging NASA to explore the Universe.In a lot of other cases, however, they do more harm than good.For example, producing cotton would normally not be all that profitable in theUnited States because the costs are higher than in less developed countries. The US therefore heavily subsidizes this industry, at the expense of people from some of the poorest parts of the world in some cases, who are not able to compete.Brazil, for example, got upset and took this matter to the World Trade Organization. The result? Well, the US is now subsidizing Brazillian cotton producers as well instead of re-thinking their entire cotton subsidy approach. But what should poorer countries such as West African ones do in this case, countries which don't have Brazil's influence and negotiation power?

More and more people are talking about the World Trade Organization these days due to the many controversies surrounding global trade. The WTO will most likely end up having to play its role as a mediator sooner rather than later, so it would be a good idea to understand what exactly the World Trade Organization is and what this organization does.
A lot of people think they know what the WTO is supposed to do but actually don't. And since discussions about the World Trade Organization tend to be heated in our current political climate, misconceptions abound.
Let's try to be objective and put the World Trade Organization under the microscope.

The World Trade Organisation (WTO) has come under renewed criticism for failing poor and developing countries with talks on agricultural trade unable to yield a breakthrough in more than 14 years.
Nations including Kenya, India and Pakistan have been calling on the WTO to force developed countries to phase out subsidies paid to farmers whose overproduction is threatening the livelihoods of farmers in the developing world.
Many analysts have argued that negotiations at the WTO have remained largely dominated by traditional economic powers such as the US and EU with discussions failing to deliver promised change.
Some point to the failure of western governments to conclude what's known as the 'Doha Development Agenda' which has kept agricultural economies in Africa trapped in poverty.
The Doha Development Agenda, which began in Qatar in 2001, is a series of trade negotiations with the broad aim of reforming the international trading system through the introduction of lower trade barriers and revised trade rules.
But 14 years on, some of the biggest of those issues - agriculture tariffs and farming subsidies - remain unresolved.
Ricardo Melendez-Ortiz, the CEO of the International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development joins Counting the Cost to discuss whether the Doha Round should be scrapped.
Global arms industry continues to boom
The international arms trade is continuing to boom, with trade at its highest level since the end of the Cold War.
Worth more than $400 billion a year, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), around 100 companies control the trade with 64 of them based in either the US and Western Europe.
While the US is the world's biggest exporter with 54.4 percent of the market, German and Swiss sales have grown to 9.4 percent and 11.2 percent respectively.
Increasing instability in the Middle East and Asia has prompted an arms race between Iran and the Gulf States, while a similar situation between Pakistan and India has prompted both countries to stock up on huge amounts of weapons.
Pieter Wezeman, a senior researcher with the SIPRI's arms and military expenditure programme joins the show to discuss who's buying what weapons.

http://www.wto.org/ 19.09.2011
Why is it crucial to measure trade flows in value-added terms in the 21st century?
Today, companies divide their operations across the world, from the design of the product and manufacturing of components to assembly and marketing, creating international production chains. More and more products are "Made in the World" rather than "Made in the UK" or "Made in France". The statistical bias created by attributing the full commercial value to the last country of origin can pervert the political debate on the origin of the imbalances and lead to misguided, and hence counter-productive, decisions. The challenge is to find the right statistical bridges between the different statistical frameworks and national accounting systems to ensure that international interactions resulting from globalization are properly reflected and to facilitate cross border dialogue between national decision makers.

Interview with ProfessorJohn Jackson on the WTO's Dispute SettlementSystem
Over the last five decades, few scholars have contributed as much to the global trading system as John Jackson. As a professor at Michigan and Georgetown, Jackson has influenced generations of trade lawyers, officials and negotiators with work about the WTO and particularly its Dispute Settlement System. As the GATT/WTO Legal AffairsDivision celebrates its 30th anniversary, Professor Jackson talks with KeithRockwell, WTO's spokesperson.

This video lays out some of the widely discussed strengths and weaknesses the WTO. For instance, a strength may be that the WTO gives developing nations an incentive to move toward freer trade policies. But, the WTO is often criticized for not doing more to tackle agricultural subsidies and tariffs which serve as major barriers to trade for developing nations. This video also takes a look at whether the WTO actually increases trade, or whether countries are naturally moving toward free trade, as we've seen by the increase in bilateral trade agreements.

Welcome to the Investors Trading Academy talking glossary of financial terms and events.
Our word of the day is “World Trade Organization”
The World Trade Organization (WTO) is the only global international organization dealing with the rules of trade between nations. At its heart are the WTO agreements, negotiated and signed by the bulk of the world’s trading nations and ratified in their parliaments. The goal is to help producers of goods and services, exporters, and importers conduct their business.
The WTO was formed in 1995 to enforce the regulations established by the GeneralAgreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and several other international trade agreements. Composed of representatives from 150 nations and observers from additional nations, it regulates international trade with the goal of helping it to flow as smoothly and freely as possible.
Advocates praise the WTO for helping to create an increasingly global economy and bringing prosperity to developing nations through increased trade. Critics, however, assert that industrialized nations such the US, Canada, and the countries of the European Union have used the WTO to open trade with developing nations while disregarding these nations’ environmental and labor-related practices.

Script transcript below:
A subsidy is basically a sum of money that the state gives to people from a certain industry to keep the price of the product or service they're selling lower than it would have normally been.Let's assume it costs Bill $10 to produce a hat, whereas someone from China can do it for just $5. In this case, a $6 per hat subsidy from Uncle Sam can help Bill all of a sudden produce hats cheaper than the Chinese.In some cases, subsidies benefit society as a whole. For example, by encouraging people to develop new technologies such as solar or wind energy. Or by encouraging NASA to explore the Universe.In a lot of other cases, however, they do more harm than good.For example, producing cotton would normally not be all that profitable in theUnited States because the costs are higher than in less developed countries. The US therefore heavily subsidizes this industry, at the expense of people from some of the poorest parts of the world in some cases, who are not able to compete.Brazil, for example, got upset and took this matter to the World Trade Organization. The result? Well, the US is now subsidizing Brazillian cotton producers as well instead of re-thinking their entire cotton subsidy approach. But what should poorer countries such as West African ones do in this case, countries which don't have Brazil's influence and negotiation power?

WTO and the negotiations on agriculture has become a very important topic that is highly relevant to the UPSC exams. The questions surrounding these topics can be asked in GS-II and in Essay. Factual details and names of various agreements can easily make an appearance in the Prelims as well.

Joining the World Trade Organization (WTO)

Kazakhstan has officially joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) on July 27. PresidentNursultan Nazarbayev signed a protocol which finalized country's membership in Geneva, a document that completed 19 years of negotiations with the WTO and allowed Kazakhstan to become 162nd member of the organization. What will change in Kazakhstan's economy after the accession to the WTO? Watch our next story to learn more about negotiations in Geneva.

Brexit presents the world trading system with novel issues, since the UK is likely to leave the EU customs union and the WTO regime has no provision regarding the break-up of customs unions. Imaginative solutions can of course be advanced, but the EU, the UK (and their WTO partners) should be aware that they are entering unchartered territory. The situation seems clearer with respect to the options available to the EU and the UK to redesign their bilateral trade relations post-Brexit.

The session will begin with the launch of the World Trade Report 2017: Trade, technology and Jobs. Following the launch of the report, a group of eminent panellists will bring their experience to the discussion of the labour market effects of globalization and its implications for further integration, business strategy, macroeconomic relations, labour markets and how societies might better handle adjustment.
The World Trade Report 2017 examines how technology and trade – two of the most powerful drivers of global economic progress – affect employment and wages. It looks in particular into the part played by technology and trade in the shift of employment from manufacturing to services, in the decreasing proportion of middle-skilled jobs, and in the growing value placed on skills within t...

The World Trade Organisation (WTO) has come under renewed criticism for failing poor and developing countries with talks on agricultural trade unable to yield a breakthrough in more than 14 years.
Nations including Kenya, India and Pakistan have been calling on the WTO to force developed countries to phase out subsidies paid to farmers whose overproduction is threatening the livelihoods of farmers in the developing world.
Many analysts have argued that negotiations at the WTO have remained largely dominated by traditional economic powers such as the US and EU with discussions failing to deliver promised change.
Some point to the failure of western governments to conclude what's known as the 'Doha Development Agenda' which has kept agricultural economies in Africa trapped in poverty.
The Doha Development Agenda, which began in Qatar in 2001, is a series of trade negotiations with the broad aim of reforming the international trading system through the introduction of lower trade barriers and revised trade rules.
But 14 years on, some of the biggest of those issues - agriculture tariffs and farming subsidies - remain unresolved.
Ricardo Melendez-Ortiz, the CEO of the International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development joins Counting the Cost to discuss whether the Doha Round should be scrapped.
Global arms industry continues to boom
The international arms trade is continuing to boom, with trade at its highest level since the end of the Cold War.
Worth more than $400 billion a year, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), around 100 companies control the trade with 64 of them based in either the US and Western Europe.
While the US is the world's biggest exporter with 54.4 percent of the market, German and Swiss sales have grown to 9.4 percent and 11.2 percent respectively.
Increasing instability in the Middle East and Asia has prompted an arms race between Iran and the Gulf States, while a similar situation between Pakistan and India has prompted both countries to stock up on huge amounts of weapons.
Pieter Wezeman, a senior researcher with the SIPRI's arms and military expenditure programme joins the show to discuss who's buying what weapons.

The NairobiConference of the World Trade Organization was recently concluded. Though the Nairobi Package was lauded as a “historic agreement”, there has been mixed reactions about the final outcome, especially from the developing nations.
WTO and the negotiations on agriculture has become a very important topic that is highly relevant to the UPSC exams. The questions surrounding these topics can be asked in GS-II and in Essay. Factual details and names of various agreements can easily make an appearance in the Prelims as well.
In this lecture we will outline the history of WTO and understand what led to the present scenario in the WTO negotiations. We will detail out why the developed and developing nations are finding it increasingly difficult to utilize the opportunity afforded by an organization like WTO to advance our collective interests. Finally, we will critically examine the outcomes of the negotiations and see what is the future for the WTO, and especially what should be India’s role going forward.
All that you need to know about the WTO, the recent developments, the justifications, the criticisms, and the conceptual approach to analyzing such details are explained lucidly in the lecture.

Brexit presents the world trading system with novel issues, since the UK is likely to leave the EU customs union and the WTO regime has no provision regarding the break-up of customs unions. Imaginative solutions can of course be advanced, but the EU, the UK (and their WTO partners) should be aware that they are entering unchartered territory. The situation seems clearer with respect to the options available to the EU and the UK to redesign their bilateral trade relations post-Brexit.

The World Trade Organization (WTO) Explained in One Minute

More and more people are talking about the World Trade Organization these days due to the many controversies surrounding global trade. The WTO will most likely end up having to play its role as a mediator sooner rather than later, so it would be a good idea to understand what exactly the World Trade Organization is and what this organization does.
A lot of people think they know what the WTO is supposed to do but actually don't. And since discussions about the World Trade Organization tend to be heated in our current political climate, misconceptions abound.
Let's try to be objective and put the World Trade Organization under the microscope.

Made in the World

http://www.wto.org/ 19.09.2011
Why is it crucial to measure trade flows in value-added terms in the 21st century?
Today, companies divide their operations across the world, from the design of the product and manufacturing of components to assembly and marketing, creating international production chains. More and more products are "Made in the World" rather than "Made in the UK" or "Made in France". The statistical bias created by attributing the full commercial value to the last country of origin can pervert the political debate on the origin of the imbalances and lead to misguided, and hence counter-productive, decisions. The challenge is to find the right statistical bridges between the different statistical frameworks and national accounting systems to ensure that international interactions resulting from globalization are properly reflected and to facilitate cross border dialogue between national decision makers.
